THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.

Our School Commissioner publishes
= circular letter to-day addressed to
the teachers OF Clarendon. He elo-
ouently urges the teachers to attend
the Inter-County Institute to be held
il Sumter on tie 22ud of this month.
We cannot add anything to what has
been so well said by Major Benbow.
Ever, thing in his circular IS endorsed.
We hope the teachers will attend the
meeting OF the institute. It IS very
appareat that tie tree schosl system
OF this county is weak and inefficient;
that the teachers, OF o majority o.
them, nave little education IL compar-
ison with the real attainments actual
" required of trainer Of children,
In a word, the whole thing might with
perfect truth be pronounced farce.
The painful knowledge Of this fact has
induced the formation OF teachers ~
stitutes. It the greatest remedy We
have and should by all means be en-
couraged. Il will elevate the teach
ers ana their profession. It will help
TO fit them ior their work and Is the
means to expel from the profession

Duty TO PARENTS.

(12) When Joseph had located his fathers
family or tribe in the land of Goshen, where
Pharaoh had assigned them territory, he
supplied them with provisions, according
to the mouth of the little ones," that is, ac-
cording to the necessities of each family,
answering to the larger or smaller num-
Der of their children. There may have been
pasture sufficient for the hocks, but the fam
lilies were supplied with grain for food from
the royal granaries, which Joseph had pru-
IDENTIFY stored during the seven productive
years which preceded the famine.
"And Joseph nourlshed his father" He
proved SO dutiful son." He was thoughtful
of his fathers comfort and well-being. He
planned and wrought to comfort and make
pleasant and joyous his declining years. He
visited him when he was sick (xlvi. ~. He
was obedient to accomplish, at great expense,
his fathers dying wish to be buried in the
tomb of his ancestors at Hebron xix. 80; |.
6. l2).
Duty to parents is among the most sacred
of all the duties of life. 1t was esteemed SO
important by the great law-giver of Israel that
he made it one of the ten commandments
deuteronomy V. 49,. The Apostle Paul
calls the commandment respecting duty to
parents, "the first commandment with prom
ise." Says the commandment: g Honor thy
father and thy mother, as the LORD thy COP
hath commanded thee; that thy days may be
prolonged, and that it may go well with thee,
in the land which the LORD thy GoD giyeth
thee" Virtue promotes longevity and hap
piness. The higher virtues generally include
the lower. Reverence of parents is amongst
the higher graces of character. Children
who honor their fathers and mothers will not
only reverence and respect them; but will be
thoughtful and careful for their comfort and
well,being, who cared for and nourished
them in their helpless infancy and youth.
Whoever fails to render such aid to parents
as necessity requires and ability permits, dis
honors them and disobeys GoD. Among the
most beautiful of human graces and virtues
is filial love.

LITERARY MATTERS.
j. w. MoMAsTER.

The Thackeray letters, the first instaIlment
of which appear in the April Scribner, were
written chiefly to Mrs. Brookfeld, who is still
living in London, and her husband, the late
Rev. W. H. Brookfeld. Mr.. Brookfeld was
a clergyman of the Church of England, dis
tinguished preacher, Ohaplain-in- Ordinary
to the Queen, and one of Her Majssiy's In
spectors of Schools. He was especially
favored in his literary friendships. When in
Cambridge he was the intimate associate of
Arthur Hailam and Tennyson. In later
years his friends included many names
famous in the ranks of iterature-Carlyle,
Kinglake, Lord aoughton, and many others
were among the number-and as these let
tiers show, he was on terms of the closest in-
timaey with Thackeray. Miss Thacksray
Mrs. Ritchie) wrote to Lord Lyttleton that
Mr.. Brookfeld was the Frank Whitestocz -
of her fathers sketch, "rhe Curate's Walk"
The illustrations accompanying the letters
will be unique. There will be portraits, views
of places mentioned, ETC.; but the principal
illustrations will be Thaekeray's own work.
Many of the letters contain sketches, which
will be reproduced in fac-simile; and others
of his drawings, which are in the possession
of Mrs. Broobfeld, to whom most of the let
tiers were written, will also be given.
